Heck I'm 14 years old myself! Well all I wanted to do really was to sum up all the facts to show that it is an easy implementation, but if you already know that this is a possibility, I guess all that's left for me to do is to start coding! Any help with porting it would be much appreciated. Hopefully I can start porting soon and start a personal project.

Thanks for the help,

Summing up facts is pointless unless there is someone interested and willing to put in the actual work hours. Given the age of that device this definitely will be the hardest problem. But if you're up to it the better. Just don't expect lots of people to find too much interest in such a thing these days. Just look at the development activity and active developers these days compared to like 10 years ago.

Also, if an approach appears to be simple it doesn't mean it will be easy to do, and it doesn't show in any way that it would be simple. In software you're usually hitting a lot of snakes along the way.

As I already said I’ve decided that if the developers know that it’s a possibility but won’t attempt it, I’ll try it myself. I’ve realized that almost no one is willing to put any more work into the firmwares like iPodLinux anymore. I even talked to the developer of the GBA emulator, Keripo, and he said he had long stopped working on the project, since 2014 actually, so that’s that, I’ll have to try it myself.
As for the warning of building software, thanks
